Write your hurts in the sand; but carve your Blessings in stone.
What are your thoughts? (please be respectful)

Seeker, it IS nice, isn't it?
I cannot take credit for it, though I read it (or something very close to it) somewhere and just gave it my own little twist!

I think that is pretty cool!!!
I do a similar practice. If there is something I am worried about or a negative feeling that I have, I write it down on a piece of paper and I burn said paper. I watch the ashes blow away in the wind. I like your sand idea better and watch the ocean wash away my fears.
I write down my blessings in a book so later on in life when I am feeling doubtful, I can go back and reread them! Carving them in stone would only well... set them in stone. :)
This is one of those practices that anyone of any faith can do. Whether you are a Christian giving your fears to God or a New Ager like me doing meditation and manifestation, it really helps!
Great suggestion!

I agree with you...we would all do well to practice this...but it's easier said than done! Some of those hurts seem carved on our hearts!

I say forgive, but never FORGET. He who does not learn from the mistakes of his past, is doomed to repeat them.
